he took a party Of New England railroad

Trouble Anticipated in Manitoba.

WINNEPEG. April A.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. The railway disalIOwance still
agltates the people here and a crisis may be
reached at any time The Canadian Pacific
seems to be forcing the federal government
to disallow the charters just passed by the
provincial legislature here to connect with
the American system OF railway. The politi-
cal friends of the conservative party have IN
sisted upon an emphatic 'yes" or mo" from
the Ottawa authorities as to whether the
charter just passed will be disallowed. If
vetoed they will call upon Scarth, the member
recenely elected for Winnipeg in the govern
ment interest, to resign his seat in the house
OF commons. The Norquay government here,
In anticipation of dlsallowance, has passed
bill to force the government itself to force
the railway to international boundary. In
the event Of disallowance the road will be
constructed in defiance of the Dominion gov
ernment.. Should q clash then occur, or an
attempt be made to- stop construction, the
people of Manitoba, it is almost certain, will
rebel and secede from the confederation.
Much interest is attached to the prospective
vote on the question of disallowance in the
Ottawa parliament next week.
